Sending people to mars is very pointless IMO, but the drawing is nice.
No it's not handicap. Can you even comprehend how important this is to science? A human expedition to a whole new planet, who ever first steps on it's surface will be:
The First Human on Mars
" " Another Planet
" " Out of Earth's orbit/Moon's orbit
" " _____ miles away from Earth (Don't know exact amount)
" " To Travel to another planet.
That Annoying Oranges Niel Armstrong. :D
Anyways, if we do ever colonize Mars, imagine the possibilites from that. There could be a whole different internationally controlled city on Mars, and we would be the generation watching this happen.
